My rhinoplasty questions *0*!

Hello everyone XD! so a week ago I got a rhinoplasty. 
here you can read my last post about it.

Here are some of the questions:

★★Did it hurt?
A-Not really xD, the surgery took 2 hrs but it felt like 2 min cause I was under the influence of anesthesia @_@! and after the surgery it only hurts if you move your upper lip too much!!

★★Did they have to break your nose?
A-Yes Dx, because my nose was already broken so they had to finish breaking it @_@...but even if your nose is not broken they might have to break it.


★★How much was it?
A-The cost depends on your location, here in San Diego the average is between $6,000-$8,000. I heard in San Francisco is $11,000 and in Chile is $3,000 so it all depends on where you live :)!

All my medicines and Vitamins + presents from the Doctor and staff *0*!

★★Where you in pain after the surgery?
A-Nope, I could walk and think perfectly fine :D but even though I was feeling "good" I needed to rest plus the pills they give you for pain make you fall asleep @_@U..The first day of surgery my friend Gabby took care of me, and the second day I stayed all by myself but my mom left lunch in my room and then my sister came to feed me xD. But I could go to the bathroom and stuff without any problem :D! so there was provably a 5% pain lol!

★★Did you get bruises or raccoon eyes?
A-I did not! I was very surprised I didn't get anything @_@! I thought I was going to look like a raccoon! I just got swollen, so I would apply packs of ice over my eyes 2 times a day :3 !

★★Does it take a long time to recover?
A-After the second day I could cook and go down stairs and after that you just have to do quiet activities for a week; watch tv, use computer, stay in bed all day and be lazy xDD. Even though the Doctor already removed my cast (1 week after surgery) he said that I could not do too much stuff such as shores and walk a lot for the following 3 weeks xD yay!!  cause my nose can get swollen by over doing something.

With my cast on xD and my nose right after the cast was removed (that's why it looks shinny Dx)

★★When are you going to be able to see how your nose will look permanently?
A-I read that after 7months -1 year.. I need to ask my doctor xP. But the nose I have now and will have for the next couple months is not the final result, since it takes time for the skin to take the shape of your new nose :D!

Extra facts:
★It doesn't hurt but it's uncomfortable cause you have to breathe through your mouth for 1 week >0<
★You have to drink water through a straw xD
★You have to sleep with your head elevated for 1 month (2+ pillows)

So yeah basically that's it! so don't be afraid of getting a rhinoplasty it doesn't hurt as much as you think!.. and research your doctor very well before getting one D:!!! look at the pictures of his/her previous work, his/her resume, all the schools he/she went to etc. And I recommend getting someone that specializes in facial plastic surgery :D!

That's it for today and hope that answers all your questions!

Bye bye!! *0*
